In other words the railroads have
shown by their construction that the
law permits them to charge rate per
mile tor the shortest distance thirty.six
times az large ~ for the longer. This
leaves the talk shout interfering with
the liberty of competition In very Pc
cuIiar light.
The other allegation of the Times
refers evidently to the raising Of rates
on cOmmutatiOn tickets near Philadel-
phia, aud Its assertion that the rail
ways must equsliZe by reductions and
adVaneements," carries the idea that
this change was caused by the law. {.
Such q view, however, exhibits re-.
msrkable Ignorance Of two facts: First
that the rates On those tickets are
entirely on State traffic, and are
not subject to the law; and second
that If there were anywhere In the
country a system of travel under com.
mutation tickets, which crosses State
lines, it is amply provided for by the
following sentence in section % Of the
Inter State Commerce act: "Thst moth
ing in this act shall apply to II
the Issuance of mileage, excursion or
continuation tickets"
1t Is to be believed from the general
fairness of the Times that 1t makes such
representations In ignorance Of their
fslsity; and If so we have no doubt that
1t will take an early opportunity to cor
rect them. But there Is no doubt that
just exactly such misrepresentation
have been widely inspired for the ex-
press purpose Of supporting such roads
as are desirOus Of making the law OdiOus;
and In every such case they possess a pc.
culiarly bars.faced quality Of falsehOOd

and Abraham Lincoln were also warm

he was released by the order Of Presi-

pass ever issued. Permit W. j. Allen

Abraham Lincoln, and that signlfied
his confidence and trust In his old

Douglas; was also delegate to the na-

IT is not likely the President will call

year 1883 about $46O00.00O. II this re.

the Secretary will do undOubtedly-arst,
because the law rsqnlres 1t, and second,
because 1t will he necessary in order to
avoid great stringenoy In the money

WAR taxation continues and seems
likely to-; and some people justify them
by parsding Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe as advocates Of a high protective

The rates of tariff taxation that these

difference. II Is simply absurd for Re.

The first case Of enforcing the law
against imported contract labor was
started In Boston last Saturday, when
eight female English emigrsnts were
prevented from landing. They are In
telligent, and range from eighteen to
forty years of age. One has child ten
months old with her. They came out
under contract with the Compton Com.
Dany, OF Providence, 4. l., and their way
was paid through to Providence. Tha
contract provides that they shall work
for one year at velvet weaving, and are
to pay 81 % per week throughout the
year to cover the passage pay advanced
to them.

The best medical writer's claim that
the successful remedy for nasal Cstsrrh
must be noc-irrltating, easy Of appllca-
ton, and one that will, by Its own &C
tion, reach all the remote sores and ul
cerated surfaces. The history Of the ef.
sorts to treat catarrh during the past
few years obliges us to admit that only
one remety has completely met these
conditions, and that is Ely's Cream
Balm. THIS safe and pleasant remedy
has mastered catarrh as nothing else has
ever done, and both physicians and pa.
tlents freely concede this fact. The
more distressing symptcms quickly yield
to it.

UNDER the head "Tw0 Stereotyped
UntruGhs," the Pittsburg Dispatch
prints the following editorial on the
Interstate Commerce Law:
II would he amusing IL 1t were not so
exs-perating, to observe the lofty s0-
DeriOFity to the fact that characterizes
the effort to create public prejudice
against the Interstate Commerce law.
TIE industry with which acts of the
railways intended to burden commerce
are re resented by large portion of
the press as TeSHItS Of that law, fur
nishes one of the peculiar phenomena
OF the times. An example OF repeating
allPg tiOns that have been frequently
disprOved, is furnished by an article In
the Philadelphia Times, from which the
following Ia an extract:
In like manner our railways aimed to
bring the most distant Of our mines and
forests within reach Of markets by les
sening the rate pr mile In proportion
to distance. It was by the
same latitudinous policy that our rail-
ways have built miles Of beautiful su-
burban homes along all Of their lines;
but now comes the in6sxible mandate
of the law declaring that there shall be
exact uniformity In charges, and rail-
ways must eQualize by reductions and
adVancements.
Here are two distinct allegations.
The first Is that the railway policy of
making less rate per mile for long
distances than for short ones, is forbid
den by "the inf xible mandate Of the
law" The assertion ia an sgregiOus
effort of he Imagination. There Is no
such provision In the law; and that no
Intelligent railroad man suppOses that
there Ia, is shown by the rates which
have been adopted under the law. The
mileage tariff recently put In force by
the Pennsylvania Company shows the
following rates per mile on sixth class
freight for different distances:
